Pecco Bagnaia says Ducati has not fixed persistent 2025 MotoGP issue

A reigning champion still fighting the same unresolved problem deep into a season is a meaningful admission — it tells you the gap between Ducati's development pace and the demands of defending a title. Bagnaia is not hiding it, which suggests the issue is visible enough in results that there is little point in doing so. For rivals, it is a data point worth noting: even the benchmark package on the grid is not without its chronic weaknesses. How Ducati responds in the second half of the season will say more about the team's engineering depth than any single race result.
